I felt so much for the wife and children. The wife even went to the extent of begging him to come back but he told her he doesn't love her anymore. I love what happened to George at the end when he felt betrayed by his mistress. One lesson I learned here is that people should appreciate what they have and try and fix their relationships. George was feeling inadequate and he unconsciously falls into the arms of a younger woman; yet she didn't bring him the satisfaction he needed. He had a nice, beautiful and supportive wife but he failed to appreciate her. In summary, the Bible says that the devil is prowling about and looking for who he may destroy. People need to be very careful in their actions and decisions.

Narcissistic abuse is him allowing his wife and family to be happy and healthy for all the years up to his oldest teenage sons age, no smear campaign against the wife for all those years and probably beyond, no child abuse, no triangulation, no gaslight, no splitting the kids up into golden child vs scapegoat, etc etc. He just cheats eventually and does the trite stupid mistakes many cheaters make but that's what a narcissist is...... I and all real victims of actual narcissistic abusers wish this is what narcissistic abuse was. We wish but if wishes were horses beggars would ride.

I’ve lived it many times and I still don’t understand why they do it. I even tell them when we first start dating if there’s ever a time to where you just don’t feel the love anymore or I’m not giving you the love & attention you deserve please just tell me and if you want we can try to work it out and after some time if no changes then walk away. I could still respect you for being a true lady and telling me your true feelings and if anything I’d even be open to discussing a second chance if they ever decided to try and come back, but no they always seem to choose the most cruel way by just ghosting you & leave you wondering what the hell just happened. It just paints the ugliest picture of them & I immediately lose all respect and my heart closes forever with that person. It still amazes me how someone can spend years, decades with you, not missing one day of interacting with one another and suddenly vanish. I know now that life is one big test and the people that come in and out of our lives are just lessons, not everyone that comes in our lives are meant forever, some are just for a season and we have to be thankful for the memories each person gives us and realize that each one that comes in is helping us grow and shapes us into the people we were meant to be.

I think some cheaters stay married for the kids, some because they don’t want the stigma of divorce, and some for the financial aspect of separating a household and having to make it alone..there are multiple reasons why someone wants to stay married.. what baffles me is when the victim stays with the cheating spouse, over and over and over again, subjecting themselves to the invalidation of knowing their spouse will always choose someone else over them 😓 ..emotional abuse at its finest

You know why I think spouses have affairs? It’s because they don’t want to put forth effort and expect perfection. When their marriage starts off happy and/or exciting they stay faithful but once a routine sets in or they have problems, they get it in their head that they need something different rather than trying to work through the marriage issues and find a solution. They don’t believe that a marriage should be hard or that you have to fight to make it work. They don’t want to take the good with the bad. They can’t accept that love is something that requires effort and sacrifice. They think love and marriage should be perfect but newsflash it’s not. It never has been and it never will be.

💯 % agree. If this is based on a real story, I would like to know in this instance how the kids are doing without their dad around and their mom moving on to better things and relationships. If this is just written as a story to let us, (the veiwers) decide on our own how we think and want it to end. It is such a heartwarming story that portrays how ones life can be upended when one person in a relationship chooses to give into temptation and betray the other without at least trying to be the person they were when they started the relationship. Too bad that she, much like many women, chose to pretend it wasn't happening even though she knew the truth. God Bless everyone, my prayers always include all the people in this world, and I wish nothing than the best for them.

This is a sad story but has joy and happiness as well.divorce and any broken relationship is never easy. The grass isnt always greener on the other side of the fence. Forgiveness and love and trust must be at the core of every relationship.,but mostly Gods love.

Oh my goodness, this is an amazing movie. It showed the strength and inner beauty and wisdom of the mom, and the foolishness of the dad; according to their choices!

I really don’t know what to say. In real life, we witnessed many stories about the husband or the wife, who was not in love with his or her spouse anymore, and they didn’t put the children at first. However, the ending is often sad than happy. I just wish that people could hold their promises a little tighter and did not give up too quickly, and think of their children first.

Then when things are no longer hot, sexy or entertaining with his new Lover (because he left his wife for a Child). He realizes what he was missing, decides to try to try to seduce his Wife. With a nice dinner, at her favorite restaurant, with wine 🍷, food and music. They never change, they think we are all gullible/stupid. When that didn't work what he figured he'd try the Suicide trip.
